First Look At Luke Skywalker In LEAKED Image From STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
There's been a lot of speculation and rumours about the fate of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but now a leaked image from a photoshoot from the movie has finally revealed his full appearance. Just how different does he look? Well, you might be surprised...
You may recall a rather troubling rumour some time ago that Luke Skywalker will have turned to the Dark Side by the time that the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens kick off. There were even rumblings that his appearance was now mostly robotic for some reason, and with only his artificial hand featured in the trailer for the movie, those reports did seem to carry some weight.
Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be the case based on the leaked image below from Star Wars 7 News. This is just the latest in a long line of leaks from the J.J. Abrams helmed movie, but no doubt one of the biggest reveals to date as Lucasfilm have been doing their utmost to keep the mystery around where we pick up with Luke in The Force Awakens a secret. Well, it's not any more!
Of course, this doesn't mean that the character won't still undergo some fairly drastic changes in the movie, but I'd say it's now pretty unlikely. His look is definitely reminiscent of Obi Wan in A New Hope, and this leak will hopefully prompt Lucasfilm to reveal some new details about his role in the film. Based on how they've ignored leaks so far, that might be wishful thinking though...
What do you guys think of this first look at Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
